Inviting team members
The person who knows what knowledge and skills are required for a construction project is usually the project manager. Therefore, a project administrator directly invites new Bimplus participants to join a project. By accepting the invitations, the new participants automatically become members of a Bimplus team.
The team owner or a team administrator can also invite new Bimplus participants to join the Bimplus team independently of a project, for example, to assign them team tasks that are superordinate to a project.
Note: Users who are invited to take part in Bimplus for the first time must confirm participation before they become registered Bimplus users (see “Accepting the invitation to Bimplus”).

Defining the roles of the team members
A new Bimplus participant who is invited directly to a project automatically gets the member team role, regardless of this participant’s role in the project. By assigning the administrator role to a member, the team owner or team administrator can authorize any member to carry out team tasks that are superordinate to the project.
When the team owner or a team administrator invites a Bimplus participant to join the Bimplus team independently of a project, the team owner or team administrator can assign the role to the new member directly in the invitation. Of course, this role can be changed at any time.
Important!
A team administrator is authorized to manage all licenses that are available to a team, that is, both Bimplus licenses and Allplan Share licenses. Therefore, a team member who does not belong to the company should get the member role only.

Removing members from a Bimplus team
By removing a member from a Bimplus team, you revoke the member's access rights to the planning data of all projects assigned to this team. This removes the member only from the current Bimplus team, having no effect on other Bimplus teams to which this member belongs or on the Bimplus registration of this member.
Note: Even if you remove a member from all Bimplus teams, the Bimplus details (email address and password) of this member still exist. Once registered, a Bimplus user can thus be reinvited to a Bimplus team or project at any time without this user having to register again.
